Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc (OTCMKTS:NWBO)

Bethesda, MD-based Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc (OTCMKTS:NWBO) shares are off 5% after the company announced “meaningful progress” in resolving four lawsuits that were brought against it. The company announced that it expects to not pay any monetary damages.

The Lawsuits

The lawsuit filed in a Maryland court included a variety of claims about alleged false reporting concerning results of the DCVax-Direct Phase I trial and the DCVax-L Phase III GBM trial, among other things.

Another lawsuit filed in Delaware and Maryland was a class action lawsuit on behalf of the Company and its shareholders naming Cognate, various Toucan entities, and NW Bio’s Board of Directors as defendants and seeking disgorgement of purportedly improper benefits and an unspecified amount of damages, among other relief.

The last lawsuit was filed in Maryland and was an amalgam of accusations detailed above.

Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc (OTCMKTS:NWBO) CEO Linda Powers stated “lawsuits like these can be a distraction from the important work of companies like ours. In my opinion, disposing of these cases is an important step forward in our vindication from the relentless and false campaign to discredit our science, our operations and our ethics, and hopefully helps remove what have been delaying obstacles in our path forward. These resolutions come with no further price tag to shareholders, allowing us to focus our resources on the Company’s mission of providing our promising vaccines to as many solid tumor cancer patients as possible, at the earliest time possible.”
